He asserted that George J. Tenet, then the director of central intelligence, had never even heard of Mr. Wilson. Veep didn't know of Joe Wilson. |
He was pressing about what you would say. When I wouldn't give him an assurance that you would exonerate Libby, if you were to cooperate, he then immediately gave me this, 'Don't go there,' or, 'We don't want you there.' |
I agreed to the new ground rules because I knew that Mr. Libby had once worked on Capitol Hill. I assumed Mr. Libby did not want the White House to be seen as attacking Mr. Wilson. |
